Jake Bennett

My name is Jake Bennett. I've been an Avs fan since '95, when they came to Colorado. I play hockey (mostly beer league) as a goalie, so naturally my favorite hockey player of all time is Patrick Roy. I aspire to someday be a sports writer, and while I love most/all sports, it would be a dream fulfilled to become a beat writer for an NHL team.
